Specialised in Quantum & Nuclear Physics, accumulating a diverse set of experiences from alma mater IIT BOMBAY, he envisions introducing (unlike anywhere) some very unique courses like ASMAT (Advance Scientific Mathematics), Knowledge Representation, Building Analytical & Logical Aptitude for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) in children at a very tender age. ATHENS is working on ‘Strongly Method-Oriented’ Skill Development Courses through Model Construction, Planning, Mind Maps, Solving Problems by Searching, Predicate Logic, Propositional Logic etc. It has also introduced a live discussion room called- ‘ATHENS SPACE’ with opportunities to participate through speaking and listening, talk productivity and share ideas to keep students organised and focused. ATHENS is an ‘Unusually Planned Platform’ with a dedication to advance and educate in the fields that will best serve the nation.

Talking about the role of technology, he says- “the success of tech will still rely on teachers. We might be sending our kids to schools in self driving cars by 2025, but that does not mean they’ll be taught by ‘teacher avatars’.

‘Education needs will drive technology use’, rather than its coolness trumping education. Instead of simply finding ways to put more tablets in kids hands, today’s education needs to find new ways to supplement the best learning possible. Online is not a cure- all for education issues in this country, but needs even greater  efforts to make ‘feel and reciprocate connection’ between a teacher and student. Human factor will always be important”.

Adding further, he says- ‘Employers, Education Providers and Youth live in parallel universes’. Young people would have a clear sense of what they could plausibly expect upon leaving a school or taking up a course of study, while educational institutions would think more carefully about what they teach and how they connect their students to job market.

Neeraj Kansla is proven young professional & role model, well recognized in the field of Quantum Mechanics nationally, has served thousands of students achieving their dreams of getting into top IITs, NITs, IISERs, JNCASR, IISc, TIFR and several other top universities in India and abroad. He is a constant mentor for many “students pursuing career” in United States, United Kingdom and all over the Europe. He, along with his mentor Dr. Rajesh Chhatra (Alumnus IIT Delhi) has climbed the educational ladder, one rung at a time , to promote new generation of scientists, engineers, environmental literacy and instil social responsibility in students. They are collectively redefining and renovating the ‘Indian Education’ with sheer will and amplifying efforts.

Vehemently inspired by ‘National Education Policy’, ATHENS is parallelly working on comprehensive framework for elementary and higher education in the fields of medical and engineering, dreaming an ‘India-Centric Educational System’ that contributes directly to transforming our nation sustainably into an equitable and vibrant knowledge society by proving high quality education to all. It is also setting up ‘Quality and Assurance’ department (just as in R&Ds) to ensure overall development in youth and plan new teaching protocols to showcase rich, varied, intellectual and cultural heritage of India.

He continuous to work even harder despite challenges set by Covid19 and plans to go nationwide, covering at least three big cities by 2023. His actions inspire others to dream more, learn more and become more. He hopes to publish his first book ‘Vedas and Resonance’ through a unique prism of thoughts.
